Description

In 1789, the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette, famously uttered the phrase: "Let them eat cake", which showed her poor understanding of the situation and disregard for her people who were going through a famine and poor understanding of their situation. This type of narcissism has become representative of the princess syndrome. The 'princess syndrome' is a psychological phenomenon that arises from self-centeredness and materialism. These 'princesses' live life as a fairy tale and believe that the universe is centered around them. This lingerie collection features the color Bordeaux red which symbolizes maturity, as only adults can drink Bordeaux red wines. There is also a nude pink color which is gentle and soft, and tender like a newborn baby. The adult and infant associated colors, synthesis of styles found in the 1800s and modern fashion in the collection represent the contradiction between a mature and immature mentality embodied in young women who have the princess syndrome.
